Explore both types of creative processes.
Each week we will focus on a different way of working with a life-model and look at the way other artists have been and continue to be inspired. We will work with a range of body types and forms, exploring the figure, both nude and draped. Expect to create a body of work that could inspire other artistic creations.
Suitable for all levels.
